Chapter 148: 148: Enrage Grandpa Xia

Mentioning the cringe title as an immortal empress, Yue Xuexia smiles as if hearing a joke. She had been down to earth before the system arrived in her life. Even though she had heard the stages for cultivation, she knew that it was impossible for her to reach immortality. In the first place, her karma in the mortal realm is thick, and she could never imagine leaving her family in this world for the sake of cultivation, so she truly didn't think much about what Taiyang had said.

Taiyang and Shen Jueyang noticed that Yue Xuexia didn't believe them. They knew that her attachment in the mortal realm was strong at this moment, but they also believed that once she got over her attachments, they would bring her outside this small world, which shouldn't contain her at all.

On the other hand, the Tian Clan three members were dumbfounded by what they just heard, even so they didn't question them about whether this information is real or not. They choose not to further discuss this topic of cultivation stages.

Yue Xuexia says, "Grandpa Tian, you can use those longevity pills as you will. As long as you keep the pill in the jade bottle, its effect should be retained for a hundred years. Even though it does not have the effect to treat terminal illness, it would be able to extend one's life as long as it was eaten. Even a dying man will suddenly become healthy after eating one of them. It's precious, so please keep quiet about it. That thing is coveted by cultivators as well."

Learning that even cultivators covet these pills, Grandpa Tian realized that this miracle medicine is a hot potato, yet for some reason he is not willing to let it go as well. He smiled, thinking that with this, his clan possessed three possible chances of life, and he would definitely put it to use.

Grandpa Tian hid the longevity pill within his clothes and gestured to Tian Qiuya to bring out what he had prepared for Yue Xuexia.

"Thanks for the gift, Xiao Xue. Grandpa likes it a lot. I also have a gift for you. It might not be much, but you can just add it among your assets," Tian Qiuji said.

A folder was placed in front of Yue Xuexia, which Tian Qiuya happily opened for her. It's a share contract of his pastry business company, which is franchised all over the world. Under it was the bakery's ownership in this district, which caters to the sweets and pastries that Yue Xuexia and her family love to eat. She had been patronizing this bakery whenever she bought souvenirs, and her family, who loves sweets, also likes the bread and pastries this Autumn Moon Bakery sells.

Yue Xuexia was delighted with the ownership of the bakery. The patisseries were something that made her happy, as the bakers and the original staff remain, and she only needs to go there to get some products no matter how much she orders.

Young Master Qiuya smiled and passed a pen to her. "Xiao Xue sign it. This is a gift from us. I heard from grandpa that you love the products sold in the Autumn Moon Bakery. The shop will remain as it is and you can retain their salary or increase them. The original staff, including the baker, chose to remain and are willing to serve you as they know how much you love their bread and sweets. They were actually happy when they learned that you will become their new boss."

"Thank you, Grandpa Tian, Brother Qiuya. I like this gift a lot," said Yue Xuexia as she signed the contract on the folder and passed it to Tan Bingyu for safekeeping.

General Tian apologized for his rudeness, which Yue Xuexia actually didn't mind. He also invited her to visit his place if she has time. After all, the granddaughter of the Great Elder of the Starfield Sect is no ordinary mortal. In Tian Qiusi's mind, this little girl is definitely a cultivator like her grandfather. Yue Xuexia ate lunch with the Tian family until she finally took her leave after lunch. It seems she plans to visit the Autumn Moon Bakery, which is now under her name. Young Master Qiuya had also left with them.

After the youngsters had taken their leave, Grandpa Tian and his son, General Tian, had gone to the study to have a conversation about the information they got from the young man with Yue Xuexia. The general was even scolded by his father for his rudeness this morning.

Grandpa Tian said, "Son, you are a bit abrupt this morning. Don't you know what might have happened to you if you had offended that young man, Taiyang? I am an ordinary person, but even I can feel the danger that child possesses."

"I know that I'm wrong, father. If not for the little girl holding his rein, he might have killed me on the spot. The aura that leaked from him was suffocating, and that is something I felt when I met an elder from the Heavenly Sword Sect," said General Tian Qiusi. "Even Senior Ling Wen's aura is not as oppressive as what that young man has. He might truly be someone from beyond this world."

"Hm. Don't think about it. We mortals are not to get involved with the cultivators. Xiao Xue is different from the other cultivators. She was definitely once an ordinary person like us. But she had changed recently after exterminating the few clans that offended her. Maybe this is because of the influence of that man called Taiyang. Plus even the princess of the Hidden Tan Clan is servile towards her now. She has indeed changed a lot, yet her kindness remains."

Grandpa Tian looked at the jade bottle in his hand with eyes full of hope. General Tian Qiusi also noticed his father's thoughts and knew that he put his hope on this pill to wake up his comatose mother. His mother and his father's wife had been in an incident, and it was caused by one of the rivals of his father from a foreign land. They wanted to cause the death of Mrs. Tian using a car incident as a catalyst.

A huge truck struck the car his mother was riding on her way home. The whole car of his mother was wrecked, and maybe because of merits in life that she survived, but the driver and the other that was with her at that time all died. Mrs. Tian had fallen into a deep coma, and she had been declared a vegetable ever since.

The doctors said that Mrs. Tian might never wake up in the future, but his father didn't give up and tried all means to extend his wife's life. Yue Xuexia said that the longevity pill couldn't cure terminal disease, but this also means that it can bring a dying person back to life and make them healthy. So this longevity pill became the only hope Grandpa Tian had to wake up his wife.

General Tian, who heard about the rumors about the identity of Yue Xuexia as the divine doctor, believes that the pills she possessed were not ordinary. He also had an inkling that this pill might be able to wake up his mother. Despite the positive possibility, the general still didn't inform his father about the other identity of Yue Xuexia. If the pill didn't work, he would tell his father about it.

General Tian said, "Father, go ahead and visit mother. You can leave your business here to Qiuya, and I will also send people to protect you on the way."

"Um. I hope this pill can truly wake up your mother. If this is effective then... we would owe Xiao Xue a lot. But I don't mind as long as your mother wakes up. After all, it was my fault for being ambitious. If not for me, your mother wouldn't have ended in such a state," said Grandpa Tian.

Tian Qiusi sighed and said, "Father, our family business is big, and it would be inevitable that some people would be jealous. It wasn't your fault. It's my fault for not sending enough people to protect Mother."

"It cannot be helped; when the incident happens, you are out for a mission. Son, it was never your fault. Don't blame yourself," said Grandpa Tian.

While the father and son from the Tian family are worrying about the effect of the longevity pill, those who had gathered in the State Palace were now in a huge dining hall. Most of those who are inside are those who possess high position in society and some are even cultivators who live in the mortal realm.

Grandpa Xia, who had just arrived, was surprised by these people in the hall, as most of them are familiar places. As for Grandma Hialun, Mama Yue and Papa Yue, they were escorted in the garden together with the other family members of those who were also inside the dining hall.

On the long table, those who sat were familiar faces like Long Huangdi, Cultivator Fu Wangyi, the two masters of the Lin Chiyu, Tan Huangyu, the ancestor of the Hidden Tan Clan and a generation after their, which is composed of Long Juedi, Cultivator Ling Wen, General Lu Xingen, Scholar Fu Renze, Qui Rouya, etc. Seeing this kind of gathering made Great Elder Xia realize that the reason for this gathering might not be as simple as it looks.

Long Huangdi greets, "Great Elder Xia, you are finally here. Welcome; we have been waiting for your arrival."

"This is indeed a unique gathering, but it doesn't seem to be a welcoming party for this old man," said Great Elder Xia as his face turned serious as he took his seat near Long Huangdi.

Cultivator Fu Wangyi spoke, "My friend, the situation is not truly simple and it had something to do with you. To be precise, it involves your granddaughter, Yue Xuexia."

"A matter that involves my Xue'er? Is it big enough for every one of your standings to gather in one place?" asked Great Elder Xia.

Tan Huangyu said, "Yes. It involves her. No, it is more likely to say that the cause was her and the one who took action was the young man beside her. You know how mysterious the background of that young man is, right? Or do you know where he comes from?"

"You are talking about Taiyang? I don't know about that brat's background. It's just that he seems to be too close to my Xue'er, acting as if he is his protector or something. Did he do something?" asked Great Elder Xia.

The two masters of Lin Chiyu had spoken. The first to speak was Lin Chiyu's first master, Elder Xiao.

"Actually, this event was something you should have known. You were actually in the auction hall when it happened."

The second master of Lin Chiyu, Elder Yun, said, "Maybe if you hadn't left the second hall at that time, you would have witnessed it yourself. It had something to do with the Xue Clan. Don't you know that Xue Mengya had insulted your granddaughter and Lao Tan's granddaughter?"

"What did you say!?" exclaimed Great Elder Xia, as he actually didn't know what happened after he left the auction hall to look for Elder Kun.

That time was indeed the first meeting between him and his granddaughter, Xue'er, but since both of their faces were hidden, they failed to recognize one another. Now they are telling him that after he left the hall, the bastard from the Xue Clan had the audacity to insult his granddaughter. After learning what kind of event had happened in the hall after he left, Great Elder Xia was enraged.

Seriously angered. Great Elder Xia muttered, "He is seeking death!"
